It is getting hotter and hotter in summer, and people often lose appetite and have low digestion and absorption functions. In addition, there is plenty of rain and moisture, and the invasion of summer-heat and dampness into human body will lead to dysfunction of spleen transport and qi movement, which is manifested as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, pale mouth, stomachache, chest tightness, vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, loose stool and even edema. The solstice of summer is full of yang, and the yang of human body floats up. At this time, acupuncture and drug therapy for chronic diseases can better play its therapeutic role, and can effectively support yang and dispel cold and winter diseases.
Traditional medicine in China has long recognized the influence of solar term changes on human health. The ancients selectively acupuncture different acupoints according to the "weather" to prevent diseases that are prone to occur this season, so as to preserve health and prolong life. After thousands of years, "temple" is a natural and effective method to prevent and treat diseases, which fully embodies the idea of "preventing diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine.
Three Functions of "Solar Term Acupuncture" from Summer to Sun
strengthen body resistance and eliminate disease
Patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as physical weakness, allergic rhinitis, asthma, bronchitis and emphysema for a long time are often prone to get sick in winter. This is because these patients usually lack vital qi, and when the temperature is low in winter and the pathogenic factors are strong, the vital qi in the body is not enough to fight against the pathogenic factors. Therefore, it is advisable to treat symptoms in winter and relieve symptoms as much as possible. Summer is a good time to strengthen the body resistance and eliminate evil spirits. At this time, there are few climatic factors affecting the onset, and the symptoms are relatively mild. At this time, strengthening the body's resistance and consolidating the foundation can improve the body's immune ability and better penetrate evil spirits.
Strengthening spleen and regulating stomach
Spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" of human body. The digestive function of human body is directly related to the energy supply of human body. Spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, and dampness is the easiest to trap the spleen and affect our digestive function. Supplementing the spleen and stomach in summer can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and keep us away from abdominal distension, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In summer, yang is floating outside, overeating and cold can also cause many digestive system problems, such as stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc., so it is particularly important to protect the spleen and stomach in summer.
Helping yang and dispelling cold
In winter, in addition to the high incidence of respiratory diseases, the incidence of another kind of diseases can not be underestimated, that is, yang deficiency syndrome and neck, shoulder, back and leg pain. Like respiratory diseases, when the cold is strong in winter, people feel the diseases caused by cold pathogens, which cannot be fundamentally eliminated in winter. Only in midsummer, when the human body is full of yang, can we better dispel the cold evil in the body. Acupuncture during the summer solstice is a good way to stimulate menstruation and prevent diseases.
